Introducing Tapestry
RoopleTheme is proud to announce the release of Tapestry, a theme for Drupal versions 5 and 6. Tapestry provides Drupal users with many advanced features including:
- 20 Different Color Styles
- 30 User Regions
- Custom Block Theme Templates
- Suckerfish Menus
- Icon Support
- Advanced Page Layout Options
- Simple Configuration
- Custom Typography
- IE PNG Fix
To view a live demo of Tapestry, visit the Tapestry Demo Site. Complete instructions for installing and using Tapestry can be found in the Tapestry Handbook.
Tapestry's tableless CSS design validates to XHTML and CSS specifications according to the W3C web standards. Tapestry is fast-loading and compatible with most modern browsers including FireFox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. Most of Tapestry's advanced features will work even in older browsers like IE6.
We've validated many Tapestry pages with the Accessibility Valet, and we believe that Tapestry generates markup that is generally in compliance with Section 508 web accessibility guidelines.
Tapestry is designed to take particular advantage of two Drupal contributed modules. Using the Theme Settings API Module, Tapestry provides a simple interface for managing it's many features and options. And Tapestry provides a large collection of custom block themes for use with the Block Theme Module.
Tapestry is available for download on the Tapestry Demo Site Download Page.
You can also download Tapestry from the Tapestry Project Page on Drupal.org. However, drupal.org rules prevent us from including the Tapestry icons (which are released under Creative Commons) in this distribution. You'll also need to download the ThemeSettingsAPI module and the BlockTheme module separately. If you want the full package, download the theme from our site.
NewsFlash Version 0.14 Released
RoopleTheme is happy to announce the release of version 0.14 of the NewsFlash theme for Drupal. It is available now at the RoopleTheme download page.
This release adds several new features to NewsFlash that were first introduced in teh Beale Street theme. We've added suckerfish menus, adjustable sidebar widths, an external CSS file option, and a user-specified font family, among other features. We've also fixed a couple of problems. The theme includes a release notes file listing all changes.
As with previous version of NewsFlash, the theme uses the ThemeSettingsAPI module. The latest version of this module is included in the dowload package.
